I'm open to this idea. I would like to continue to publish proposals on
this list until such a meeting can take place though. It might serve as
a good foundation for discussion at the very least.
Some of the EG might be at DevoxxUK tomorrow and/or Wednesday (I'm not,
but other Red Hat folks are/will be). That might be a good
(preliminary?) opportunity to meet face to face, at least for some
subset of the EG.

So I propose we try and find some time within the next two weeks where the EG can gather around a whiteboard and talk. Ideally this would be face-to-face if we can find a suitable time and place, because I think we'd make much more progress in one or two days of focused conversation. If not a physical meeting we can fall back to conference call, video call, etc.
